The next day.

As the sun climbed above the eaves, Fang Li slowly awoke from her slumber.

She slowly opened her eyes, her vision blurred by the unfamiliar scene before her thoughts faltered slightly. After a moment, she seemed to realize something and relaxed.

She stayed in bed for a few minutes, wrapped in the blanket, then got out of bed. The electric curtains, sensed by the system, slowly opened, revealing a bright view.

Fang Li stretched and walked to the window, her lingering sleepiness gradually dispelled by the view before her.

A verdant expanse comes into view, with neatly trimmed green plants planted around the undulating lawns. Several gray cement paths meander through the landscape, and an artificial river meanders through the area, starting from a small artificial lake in the east and encircling the entire estate.

In addition to the fountain, there is a large open space in front of the main villa. On one side, there is a pavilion for people to rest, and on the other side, there is a huge swimming pool.

The overall design is stylish and impressive, even Fang Li couldn't help but feel impressed.

Han Xi is truly a person who would never compromise himself; to build such a manor in the heart of the capital city shows just how much he knows how to enjoy life.

Fang Li watched for a while, then turned and went into the bathroom.

After a quick wash, I went into the walk-in closet next door.

She had come in a hurry yesterday and didn't bring any clothes with her, so she planned to just find a shirt by Han Xi to make do.

Unexpectedly, Fang Li froze on the spot as soon as she entered the dressing room.

The spacious dressing room is divided in two by neatly stacked men's and women's clothing on all four sides of the display cabinets.

Men's clothing is arranged in order of jacket, shirt, and trousers, with formal suits and casual sportswear hung separately, and the colors are arranged neatly from dark to light, which is a blessing for those with obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Opposite the menswear section was a whole wall of the latest womenswear from various brands, mainly haute couture ready-to-wear collections, many of which Fang Li had seen at fashion shows and in fashion magazines just a couple of days ago.

The women's clothing was arranged in order of color, from skirts to tops to trousers, with the last wardrobe containing pre-matched outfits.

Moving your gaze to the side, another display case showcases a variety of new handbags and shoes.

In the center of the dressing room are two huge display shelves, nearly ten layers high, filled with accessories.

One side was mostly filled with watches and cufflinks, while the side closer to Fang Li was filled with earrings, necklaces, brooches, and wristwatches.

Fang Li glanced through the text and was taken aback, wondering when Han Xi had prepared all of this.

The fact that so many clothes, in styles and colors that all lean towards her usual preferences, indicates that they weren't just randomly delivered over a phone call but were carefully selected.

She felt both surprised and touched. Her fingers gently brushed across the thin, smooth fabric, and she happily chose a pre-matched outfit to change into.

It was already past nine in the morning when Fang Li came downstairs.

The living room was quiet, and the servants were all busy at their posts. Hearing her footsteps coming downstairs, a person came out of the kitchen; it was De Rong.

She nodded respectfully to Fang Li, her eyes crinkling with a gentle smile: "Madam, you're awake."

Fang Li nodded and smiled, "Good morning, Aunt Rong."

Rong's smile deepened, and she took two steps toward her, saying respectfully, "Breakfast is ready. Please move to the dining room for your meal, Madam."

"it is good."

Fang Li followed Aunt Rong into the dining room, where several servants who were busy in the kitchen quickly brought out the prepared breakfast one by one.

As soon as Aunt Rong pulled out a chair, Fang Li sat down. The warm marble dining table was already filled with various breakfasts, both Chinese and Western. Among the Chinese dishes, there were not only local specialties from Beijing, but also several delicacies from Haicheng.

A maid came over and served Fang Li a bowl of soup, then picked up some chopsticks and handed them to her. After Fang Li took the chopsticks, the maid bowed and stepped back.

Aunt Rong stood to the side and in front of her the whole time, as if she wanted to watch Fang Li eat.

Fang Li, holding her chopsticks and looking at the table full of delicious food, felt completely at a loss as to where to start.

"So much food, and I'm eating it all by myself? Where's Han Xi?"

Fang Li really couldn't stand being stared at like this, especially since it was just breakfast and she had prepared a lot of things.

"The gentleman has gone to the company. Before he left, he instructed that after you get up and have breakfast, you can wander around the manor at your leisure. There are also a few small buildings behind the main house. You can arrange your own activities as you like."

Fang Li was speechless for a few seconds, then nodded: "I understand."

She looked at the exquisite breakfast in front of her, and with a slight sense of burden, she picked up her chopsticks.

After breakfast, Aunt Rong led Fang Li on a tour of the manor.

The two followed the winding path from the lawn to the flowerbed behind, where three small buildings of different sizes but with a remarkably unified style came into view.

The small building was surrounded by a large field of tulips, the fragrance of flowers mingling with the aroma of the soil. Fang Li couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep breath.

At this moment, she had seemingly forgotten the incident from the previous night.

On the other hand, it's clearly impossible to get away with it so easily.

Wu family.

Wu Sirou's hands were still bandaged, and her complexion was even worse than when she was first injured.

The entire Wu family didn't close their eyes for a single night.

The atmosphere in the living room was somber. Apart from Wu Sirou, the person with the most unpleasant expression was Wu Sirou's father, Wu Guangxia, who held the most power in the Wu family.

The Wu family originally ran a small construction company in Tianjin. It was only after he exhausted all his connections and nearly spent all his wealth that he was able to climb onto the giant tree of Shengshi Group.

The Wu family has finally managed to gain a foothold in the capital, but his only daughter, whom he has pampered and spoiled since childhood, has caused him such a huge mess!

Who are the people who can live in Guanlan Court? They are all either rich or noble, and eight out of ten of them have powerful backers. How dare she send people from the Wu family to cause trouble there?

When Wu Guangxia first learned of this, he immediately called to stop it, but to his surprise, they had already taken action. Fortunately, the person was not there. He then thought of spending some money to settle the matter peacefully, since the Wu family had not been in the capital for nothing over the years.

Whenever the Wu family is mentioned, those who know about them still give them some respect.

Unexpectedly, the other party was completely unyielding. They not only detained him but also took him to the police station. No matter what conditions he offered, they refused to drop the charges or settle.

At the same time, news that Wu had hired thugs and was involved in organized crime somehow spread within the industry, and even the internet began to analyze and dig into Wu's past disputes.

The PR team just spent money to remove the related videos, and new posts immediately started appearing.

It's as if there's a hidden hand deliberately stirring things up, all to expose all the darkness of the Wu family to the public.

Netizens have now unearthed evidence from three years ago showing Wu's alleged malicious and illegal eviction of residents during the construction of a project for Shengshi Group, as well as videos allegedly showing Wu's violent demolition...
